Electrochique's Journal

you know what, johnny cash is amazing. his life, his songs, everything. i wish he wasnt dead. and i wish i was alive when he was big, because i would have listened to him, now it just seems a bit weird for me to listen to his music. my favourite songs, are the obvious, ring of fire, jackson, i got stripes, it aint me babe, get rhythm, and hurt. hurt is amazing, i dont know when he wrote it, but he was pretty old at that point it was like a few years before he died.

i love the lyrics, the song is accutally so amazing, i could probably cry at it if i was in a crying mood.

heres the youtube link to anyone that reads this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

Hurt - Johnny Cash

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

my favourite bit is the last 4 lines of the chorus, they really sort of get to me a bit, thats how i think i effect people, that i will just let you down in the end. its just such an amazing song. its just so amazing. i could listen to it for hours. i really could.
